Arête (Centre for human excellence)

Vision

"Empowering individuals with accessible mental wellness and holistic well-being, guiding them through internal & external conflicts to excellence. Enabling human capital to cocreate and collaborate in groups, to produce social capital"

Health is better taken care than treated. If unwell, best possible options of optimised and accessible recovery should be available
Caring for our loved ones must not mean that we stop living our lives
Limitations and disabilities should not mean one cannot live a reasonably good life
We should all have affordable & accessible guidance, support, opportunities, and mentorship throughout our lives; for the pursuit of excellence
Fitness (mind, body, & spirit) is essential for excellence and should be accessible and affordable
Work life balance is better achieved by right knowledge, wise actions, right choices, & supports. Our strife for one aspect of our life should not lead to neglecting another area of importance.
Everyone should work towards bringing out the best in them
If change is constant; so is the commitment to life-long learning
To build endurance & resilience to grow
To feel the joy of being human.
From illness to wellness to fitness to excellence! An aspiration and eventuality every individual should feel tangible.
